He started both 2010 and 2011 with Beatport #1s - the first his enormous remix of Shakedown, and the second with his own track I’ll be OK. Then an ARIA chart #1 in his native Australia, four tours of the US, his first gig in the mainroom of Ministry in the UK, a local tour for his 2011 compilation BASS KLEPH: PRESENTS - and the continuing success of his live touring outfit BKCA with pop songwriter Chris Arnott.
But his success hasn’t come from nowhere. To understand Stu Tyson, as he’s known offstage, you’ve got to know a little about his history.
First, he’s been practicing his craft forever. Most kids are still at school at age 15, but as a teenager Bass Kleph was touring Australia and New Zealand as the drummer of a hugely successful three-piece rock act, Loki. Playing live in grubby rock venues, he says, gave him his earliest understandings that there’s a dynamic to making crowds dance. A catchy rhythm won’t catch without the hypnotism of an irresistable hook - but then even the most nagging hook won’t shuffle the feet until it’s bent out of shape by the thunder of a serious rhythm section.
Really, the rock world had no chance of holding on to him. As Bass Kleph says, “I remember when Loki got its first album back from mastering. I’d been listening to Squarepusher and The Prodigy. Everyone else was stoked with the way the album sounded - but I thought ‘why are the drums so quiet? Why is it all about the guitar?’”
